LONDON (AFP) - The
police chief in Britain's South Yorkshire region was suspended
Wednesday "following the run-up to and delivery of the Hillsborough
verdicts", which found the police partly responsible for the 1989
football stadium disaster that killed 96 Liverpool fans.
South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Billings, the elected official in charge of policing in the northern region, said he had no choice but to suspend David Crompton "based on the erosion of public trust and confidence".
